I left each of my exams pretty happy to be honest. That was until i stumbled on here...I went over the answers that you guys provided to some of the exams and now i am not so confident.

I reckon i got;
Business 70%
Standard Eng 80%
Maths 60%
Religion 88 or 90%
I reckon i'll get,
Modern 80%
Legal 65%

I do 11 units so they will half both, my Religion (highest marks) and Maths (lowest) and add them. 45 + 30 = 75 (That is how i heard they sort it out in order to convert it to 10 units)

So pretty much my results look like this;
Business 70%
Standard Eng 80%
Maths/Religion 75%
Modern 80%
Legal 65%

The average is 70+80+75+80+65 / 5 = 74

Am i right in assuming my mark will revolve somewhere around that figure?

How is it possible to get 78 with only one exam mark below 82? You need to give yourself much more credit and a pat on the shoulder. Well done on your possible rsults.

Ohh dam, I have been failing this entire year...That will probably bring my marks down. However, my school is a really good school and that will possibly scale me up (?)

I thought if you did 11 units they just halved your worst subject??? I may be wrong, but I don't think your Religion mark would be halved.

Don't wanna get too personal but in short, i have a disability which has hindered my studying ability greatly. I filled out an EAS with a hospital figure (my Dermatologist) filling out a medical impact statement. I have all the required documents sorted and I've been pretty much guaranteed acceptance.

So they half your worst and leave the 1 units full mark? I hope your right lol.

Well I am not entirely certain but I think that is what they do - you could probably find the info somewhere on the UAC site. Good luck :)

I justed post a thread but noones replied yet

This is what i think ill get in the externals + my internal ranks. Is an ATAR of 85 achievable? School rank is 255, plus we have a strong cohort.

Standard Eng - ~85/105 6/128
Business Studies - ~83/100 9/51
2Unit Maths - ~87/120 17/46
Economics - ~78/100 10/26
Legal Studies - ~82/100 12/55
Physics - ~84/100 13/28

Seeing as though you only think you got one subject above 85 and the fact that your internals arent that great...i'm sorry i honestly don't think you will. I reckon you'll get just below it though. Just my two cents though..
